Why you use a lot of small processor in super computer instead of a powerful processor?

Smaller processors are almost always cheaper, and use less electricity. Using a large number of processors in parallel also gives some redundancy, since a single processor node failing will not stop work from being performed.

You should always wear a ground strap when working inside your computer case Especially when working with what?
the processor and hard drive. you wouldn't want a small shock to destroy your components do you?
Who invented the hyper threading technology?
Hyper-Threading Technology is a small program in the BIOS which enables the processor to run at higher speeds than usual, or to even make the computer think it has more cores than it should. Make sure firstly that your processor is capable of running Hyper-Threading Technology otherwise the motherboard will run faster than the processor can handle, causing crashes and CPU problems
What are the small scale applications of computer?
To calculate microbes.
Which type of computer would you recommend for controlling small robot?
super computer
Definition of medium size computer?
its not small its not big.....
What is a processor made of?
A computer processor? Mostly silicon, with small amounts of arsenic, boron and phosphorous
What is a collection of millions of tiny electrical switches compose the central part of a computer?
Every computer must have a processor to do the work. To build a micro processor means assembling a large number of transistors, capacitors, and resistors into a small package
Why you use the word microprocessor not macro processor?
Microchips in a computer large or small are just that - microscopic sized silicon.
What does form factors do?
A form factor houses the internal of a computer: processor, memory, power supply, etc. It is the shell of the inners. The term small form factor PC relates to the chassis of a computer in a very small form.
What The hardware component used to control the operation of a computer system?
The operating system communicates with computer hardware using small programs called drivers.
Why are thousand of processors used in supercomputer?
Instead of having one central processor like normal computers do, supercomputers have thousands of tiny microprocessors. However, these microprocessors connect and link up with each other in such a way that combined, they are thousands of times faster than the processor used in a normal computer. Each individual microprocessor contributes a small amount of computation time to the overall system, but when you add all of this up, you get a very fast computer.

Why you are using semi conductors instead of conductor in electrical devices?
The best property of a semi-conductor is that it doesn't always conduct. This allows you to make very small switches (called transistors) from them which can then be used to make much more complex devices such as the processor in your computer or phone.
Are computers capable of only performing a small number of tasks?
It depends on the computer type. If it is an Intel core 2 duo with 1.8 giga-hertz processor and 3 gigabytes of RAM, or any other computer like that with 2 cores, then the answer is no. If the computer has a single core, a low processor speed, and half a gigabyte of RAM, then the answer is yes.
What are register?
A register variables is that which got space in CPU internal register sets this requst can be granted or rejected by CPU ,by register veriable the processing speed become much faster for that variable.
How can computer game impact on computer performance?
Ahh... A processor DIRECTLY affects gaming performance. A game, no matter how big or small, may not use sound card, may not use graphics card but A processor is used by EVERYTHING ... Games, applications, (this is an obvious fact). Not going into complicated details, il'll say, faster processor = better game performance.
What CPU socket has a small lever that locks the CPU into place?
Zero Insertion Force socket, the ZIF socket was designed by Intel and includes a small lever to insert and remove the computer processor.
